RM Auctions to sell rare Jaguar XJ220S in Arizona

A rare 1993 Jaguar XJ220S coupe will roll across the block at RM Auctions' Arizona sale on Jan. 19.

The XJ220S, chassis No. 784, was one of six copies modified by Tom Walkinshaw Racing to be road-going cars that comply with GT racing homologation requirements. The modifications include carbon-fiber body panels, a front splitter, a rear spoiler, wider sills and an engine overhaul. As a result, the weight was reduced to 2,379 pounds while the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter engine was boosted to produce 680 hp and 526 lb-ft of torque.

The current owner of No. 784 installed a TWR titanium exhaust and flew in an expert from Spain to service the engine. The service included recalibrating and updating the computer software with the result of an additional 20 hp.

This rare car is expected to sell in the range of $225,000 to $300,000. For more details on the car visit the RM Auction site.
